My Mom is Jeanette. She is a breast cancer survivor of almost 25 years. When I was 5 she was diagnosed, and was only given 3-5 years to live at the most. She has said that we would have survived without her, but this blog is to show her that I wouldn't have been the same without her in my now 29 years of life. These are simple life lessons that I have learned from her.

Lesson #7 Sloppy Joes

Dear Jeanie,

About a week ago I made the famous Sloppy Joe recipe. It made me think of where that yummy recipe originated from. I have no clue why I remember this, because I think I was only about 8 at the time. We went to Belmont Springs with the McEvoy family. She made these yummy Sloppy Joe's and you got it from her.

I can't believe that the time has gone, and so has Sis. McEvoy. I got thinking that Sally and her sisters can't just hop on the phone and ask their mom questions about the recipe, or any other one for that fact. I am so incredibly blessed to hear your voice at the end of a rough day, or to hear you tell me your little secrets about cooking gravy, BBQ, or raising a family of 6 kids.
